as the Tchema, but which, like it, joins the Dwang. Here’ 
we have a view of the fteep mountain Magwena, where 
there is a monaftery of that name, poffefled-by a multitude: 
of lazy, profligate, ignorant monks. Magwena, excepting 
one mountain, is a bare, even ridge of rocks, which feem-

lected him to bea fervant of Ozoro Efther, but this he deé 
nied,.and.faid he was a:‘fervant of Ayto Confu; however, ag 
Confu lived in.the fame houfe with his mother at Kofcam; 
the miftake feemed not to be of any moment. He faid he 
came to meet Ayto Confu, who-was expected at. Tcherkia
